Kristin, I'm glad you like them! I never thought of ground flax. I use whole wheat. I have some barley "flour" left from my baby food making days, wonder if that would work?

I just got this recipe off of the Mothering newsletter:

Quote:
1/2 cup quinoa
1 cup water
1/4 cup diced apples
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
Milk
Maple Syrup

In a saucepan add quinoa and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Add apples and cinnamon; cover and simmer until water is absorbed (about 10 more minutes). Serve with milk and sweeten to taste with maple syrup.
Ds LOVES anything with quinoa.

Here's the link:

I started the first day with mostly wheat flour, and increased the flax a little more each day. I couldn't tell any difference except that I thought they were a little thicker (thus, the maple syrup). I think barley flour would work well.

I made them yesterday for dh who DOES. NOT. LIKE. PANCAKES. He thought they were really good--more like a crepe, he said.

Thanks again for a quick and healthy recipe.

That's what I thought too. Any ideas for thickening them? I didn't add any rising agents but thought I might try that next time.

Great thread! Punkie, this is probably a stupid question, but how do you make the sweet potatoes and apples? Bake the apples and sw potatoes first, then mix the rest in? It sounds so good, if we didn't have gymnastics in half an hour, I'd make it this morning! Definately tomorrow, though!

I'm doing High Protein at breakfast too (can't make it through the morning if I don't )

Here's a recipe for high protein oatmeal porridge that everybody here just loves, loves, loves!

11/2 Cups Water
1 1/2 Cups Milk
1 1/2 Cups of Oats (Instant or Original)
1/2 Cup Raisins (optional)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1 TBSP Vanilla
3 Eggs


Pour water and milk into pot, bring to a boil and add oats, raisins,salt and cinnamon. Cook until desired consistency (make sure it doesn't get really gloppy though ) Remove from heat and add vanilla and eggs that have previously been broken into a small dish. Wisk the eggs into the oatmeal really quickly so that they don't scramble and leave large chunks of egg. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey and milk if desired.

This is nice and custardy and oh soooo good!

A question: does it reheat well? It sounds good--maybe we will try it next week. I am picking one thing for breakfast for the week, and we're still stuck on the pancakes!

A high protein breakfast has made all the difference in my dd's behavior. I'm amazed.

Hi Blue Savannah, I'm not sure if it reheats well as I've never had to do it. It would be similar to saving regular cooked cereals...not as good as the morning you make them

Hi!

Something I've been doing lately is BAKED Oatmeal which is yummy. I'm really not a fan of custard textured oatmeal at all....it's like slime to me.

Anyway, the baked oatmeal is pretty easy to make and even though I'm the only one eating it I make up a batch and leave the leftovers in the fridge just reheating a bowlful each morning as needed in the microwave (although I'm sure that if you put it in the oven with foil over the top just removing the foil in the last 5 min you could reheat it that way too.

Ingredients:

1/2 c oil (I've used veg oil and coconut oil)
1/2 c sugar or natural sweetener
2 eggs (could add more for extra protein)
3 cups oats (I've only used rolled oats but instant would be okay too)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt (opt)
1/2 tsp cinnamon (opt)
1 cup milk

Mix all together and dump into baking pan. Bake for 20-30 min at 375F. Then enjoy with milk and syrup or brown sugar if you need/want more sweetness.

One other modification I've experimented with is to add shredded coconut (about 1/4 cup) to the batch when I used coconut oil. It gave it a lovely tropical flavour. I did have to increase the amount of milk though as it thickened it up a lot.

Ours were coming out so thick after I started adding in the flax that I started thinning them with maple syrup so they would cook evernly. I am mixing in a Vitamix--I wonder if that whips the eggs so much that they really puff up?

We really do like them thin. I would tend to think there might not be enough wheat for a rising agent to work well, but I'm not much of a cook. Hopefully someone else will have some input.

Thanks for the flax tip! Is a Vitamix a juicer? I was mixing them in my blender on puree, I think. I was trying to decide if more mixing would make them fluffier or less mixing. Most pancake and quick bread recipes like only a little mixing, but this is different. I will experiment of course- just thought I'd see if someone with more experience could shorten my lesson time.

You can Whip the egg whites until fluffy and then fold them into everything else that would make them fluffy

I had the baked apples and sweet potatoes this morning and it was SO yummy! The kids thought we were having desert for breakfast! (Which, admittedly has happened before. )

There's a little bit left, so I think I'll have some for a snack tonight!

Oh, just wondering though...where does the high protein come from?
